Window Vista Upgrade

So all the excitement over Vista was a little overwhelming for me so what did I do? I went out and bought 2 upgrades the day after they were on the shelves! Bad idea though. After 8 grueling hours of attempting to upgrade I had to abort and upgrade from the CD directly. Of course none of my settings were saved and all my files were moved to C:\Windows.old. I like the new interface but I think Vista is a little over-hyped. I mean, the MAC had this figured out years ago and Microsoft has been rushing to catch up.
